The best blackjack betting strategies

There are many betting strategies out there. Players want to know which is the best, but this depends on your bankroll size, emotional control, and more. Find out with us which betting strategies you should be considering and how you should be adapting these systems to your style.

Players must decide how much risk they're willing to take when assessing which progressive system is the best.

Is it the Martingale, which could have you wagering thousands of dollars to win your initial $10 wager after seven lost hands?

Or is it the 1326 betting system, where you break up your initial wager into units and bet according to the sequence and consecutive wins? It will give you a 12-unit profit, but only if you win four hands in a row.

Or should you consider the 212 Manhattan system, which caps your downside with smaller bets and incrementally increases your unit wager by one every time you win?

Like most betting strategies in table games (including roulette), you will find that if you are on a hot streak, you will say that the betting strategies work.

But was it the strategy or the smart decisions that impacted the outcome of each session, rather than the betting strategies themselves?

You always look like a genius when you 5x your bet on a fourth winning hand in a row, when the shoe is hot and combined with a double down or a split that makes your session.

This will be up to you to decide. There is variance in the beautiful game of blackjack. You will develop your style of betting with experience.

I always tell players is to bet more when the shoe is hot and bet less when it is cold. Don't go chasing losses by upping your bet when the shoe doesn't call for it.

How much do you up to your bet when it's hot? We will look at that in upcoming videos — you don't want to miss out!
